Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he has been saying that his ears are itchy and painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, he seems to have no appetite and is also very weak. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms and can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relievers according to the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child experiences severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
